Excited to share my first PhD chapter, which was just published in @NatureComms !!
Read more about the impacts of mining plumes on the helmet jellyfish #Periphylla here:

First paper of 2024! 🪼
Very excited to announce a ✨️BEAUTIFUL✨️project published in @CurrentBiology with @RebeccaRHelm.
Within, we use phylogeny and ancestral reconstructions to better understand the evolution of organisms on the ocean's surface.

Deep sea mining may pose a threat to the largest and least explored habitat on the planet—the deep pelagic ocean—and some organisms living within it, including pelagic jellyfish, suggests a @NatureComms paper. go.nature.com/3uomId4
ALT This is figure 4, which is an illustrated health rating based on the amount of sediment aggregated on the bell and mucus produced.
Our paper was picked for the editor's highlights by @NatureComms!

Research done by iAtlantic scientists that examines the effects of sediment plumes on jellyfish living in the water column has been making headlines from @nytimes to @BBC. Read about the implications of @VIStenvers' work: nytimes.com/2023/11/21/scien…

The research got a feature in BBC bbc.com/news/science-environ… 👏🏻 @VIStenvers

Species-specific responses to deep sea mining are unclear. Stenvers et al. show that elevated temperatures & simulated sediment plumes cause physiological stress in a cosmopolitan deep-sea jellyfish

Important new #deepseamining study just out!
Please also see BBC News article by @Vic_Gill bbc.com/news/science-environ…
Research published today by iAtlantic scientists reveals that deep-sea mining could significantly impact pelagic animals in the deep ocean, as well as those living on the seafloor. Read the story: iatlantic.eu/news/new-study-…

My co-authors and I investigated the effects of mining-induced sediment plumes on the midwater jelly #Periphylla and made this video to explain the main findings. Read all about it on @NatureComms rdcu.be/drFvO

Polynoidae is the most species-rich family of Aphroditiformia (scale worms), with over 900 species. A new study presents a transcriptome-based phylogeny that emphasizes relationships between taxa and provides insights into the origin of enigmatic lineages. ow.ly/utQV50Oz3Jk

MBARI’s @BioinspirLab, led by @KakaniKatija, develops tools to view deep-sea animals in groundbreaking ways.
Bringing the laboratory into the ocean gives the team a close-up look at delicate structures like feeding filters made out of snot. Learn more: mbari.org/team/bioinspiratio…
